Summary
- Lieutenant Tom Paris may have been intended to be a love interest for Captain Kathryn Janeway, as hinted by their positions on the call sheet and casting descriptions.
- The initial idea for Tom Paris and Janeway's relationship was similar to the dynamic in the show "Moonlighting," either romantic or combative.
- However, the eventual pairing of Tom Paris with B'Elanna Torres was a much better fit, as their relationship evolved naturally from friendship to romance.
